The Topology of Large - Scale Engineering Problem - Solving Networks
The last few years have led to a series of discoveries that uncovered statistical properties, which are common to a variety of diverse real-world social, information, biological and technological networks. The goal of the present paper is to investigate, for the first time, the statistical properties of networks of people engaged in distributed problem solving and discuss their significance. We...

متن کاملAsymmetric Topology of Distributed Problem Solving Networks
Distributed problem solving, which often involves an intricate network of interconnected tasks carried out by hundreds of actors, is fundamental to the creation of manmade systems 1 as well as the organization of work in biological systems 2. Here we analyze, for the first time, the statistical properties of four human large-scale distributed task networks. We find that the distribution of outg...
متن کاملControlling Engineering Problem Solving
Engineering problem solving requires both domain knowledge and an understanding of how to apply that knowledge. While much of the recent work in qualitative physics has focused on building reusable domain theories, there has been little attention paid to representing the control knowledge necessary for applying these models. This paper shows how qualitative representations and compositional mod...
متن کاملSolving a real-life, large-scale energy management problem
This paper introduces a three-phase heuristic approach for a large-scale energy management and maintenance scheduling problem. The problem is concerned with scheduling maintenance and refueling for nuclear power plants up to five years into the future, while handling a number of scenarios for future demand and prices. The goal is to minimize the expected total production costs. The first phase ...
